Santa Tracker

[Bambino]

As Christmas Eve is nearly upon us, I thought I would re-post the thread @viridis posted nearly 10 days ago, as it has gotten a bit lost down the pages, and is such a good idea for anyone who has young children:

On a separate note, @Cleoriff also mentions the following link in that thread, but I thought I would re-post that as well. I'm sure many people know of it. It's a good thing to have if parents are having to deal with getting their over excited kids to bed on Christmas Eve, because as we all know, Santa won't come to a child's house if they're still awake. This tradition began in 1955, long before the internet, but it's come into its own in this age:

A Merry Christmas to all

A timely reminder, thank you

Thanks for this @Bambino  My 3 year old granddaughter had her video message from Santa yesterday.

Beautiful to see her face as she watched him talk to her personally.....

It is a lovely idea. Basically the names and additional info is given to 'Santa'. I laughed out loud when I watched Santa tell her that although she had been a very good girl Mummy and Daddy wished she would try and stop her temper tantrums. She was nodding away and saying "I will I will".....

Beautifully done and quite magical

If anyone wants to try this...it is free ....and via this website

Really chuffed about that. As I said it is quite magical....  The bit where Santa reached for her 'book' with her name on ...all covered with stardust...made my granddaughter so excited... 'That's me' she shouted....

[viridis]

Oh yeah, she was soooo overwhelmed. "santa knows everything" she said.

By the way...I have just checked  Norad Track Santa http://www.noradsanta.org/

I see the 'Sleigh is on the Runway' and can see this.....

So......there you go....

Can't wait !!!....mince pies are at the ready....CCTV camera is pointing at the fireplace so I should get a good view of him arriving

CCTV @Beenherebefore ?? ....You seem to require irrefutable proof that Santa has actually visited....:smileytongue:

Please don't be a Grinch. Leave the mince pies and a carrot for the reindeer and get yourself to bed early cuddling a glass of mulled wine.... and if you are VERY good ....Santa will reward such a good boy...
